EAT YOUR GREENS, ALL OF THEM!

And your purples, reds, oranges and your yellows! Ooh, it would be just delicious to be tucking into our favourite Sunday night supper. A BIG bowl of all manner of vegetables steamed and mixed in with freekeh.

With garlic, smoked paprika, olive oil and lots of pepper and allspice, it keeps us and our tumtums happy. Whilst waiting for freekeh to cook, we nibble on raw yellow beetroot, very crisp and crunchy, the smaller the better, they're deliciously sweet and extremely good for you.

As are collards. We were lucky, a friend sent us some seeds from America, so she grew them for many years but the last lot she planted didn't come up, she needs to get new seeds.

Here is a fascinating vegetable website.. whfoods.org. The page detailing what collards contain in the way of healthy stuff is extraordinary, I cannot think why they are not grown in Europe.

As you know, I am still in prison and there's no great scape plan being plotted yet, she lonely without me and I miss her and my comfy warm perch.. aka her head. She got an email from Wizard asking if everything had been been finished, she nearly cried, because if dearest Wizard had been doing this, it would have all been done beautifully and finished last week end.

She's busy with medical stuff on Monday and seeing her surgical team on Tuesday, yes, they've now decided she has to have a small operation. So no builders here until Wednesday. She can't and won't leave them here by themselves, she came back one day last week and found they had gone off for lunch leaving the front door wide open!

Grrrrr.

Nothing else to report.. boring.. Growly can't hold a tune and I'm bored of being in this silly cage and want to go home.. sigh. Stay happy & healthy.

GeeGee Parrot.
